These one and a half hour workshops are run daily, Monday to Thursday as part of the Fleadh Nua from 4.00 to 5.30pm in the Temple Gate Hotel. The exercise is unashamed tune learning without any ornamentation or frills and is an opportunity for musicians newer to the session scene to increase their repertoire. The 15 tunes which, hopefully everyone will have off by the end of the week, are introduced each day as follows:-

21 Terry Teehan’s
